Rod Nordland

Matthew Naythons

Rod Nordland, the Kabul bureau chief for The New York Times, has worked as a foreign correspondent in more than 150 countries, and has been variously posted in Bangkok, Beirut, Baghdad, Cairo, Rome, Sarajevo, San Salvador, Islamabad, London and Kabul.

He joined The Times in early 2009, in the Baghdad bureau, where he was deputy bureau chief. He moved to Kabul in 2010 and became bureau chief in 2013.

He has also occasionally helped out with coverage of the revolutions in Lebanon, Egypt and Libya.

Mr. Nordland came to The Times from Newsweek, where he was the magazine’s chief foreign correspondent, based in London. During three decades abroad, he has covered every war that involved Americans, and several that did not. He began his foreign reporting career for his hometown paper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, covering the Far East and Central America. While he has been an expat ever since, he still has a cheesesteak once a year in Philly, where he has a large extended family. His immediate family lives in Rome.

His honors have included a share of a Pulitzer Prize for news, and he was also a finalist for a Pulitzer in international reporting; two George Polk awards; several Overseas Press Club awards and a score of others.

A graduate of Pennsylvania State University, he was also a Nieman Fellow at Harvard.
